Q1. Common rail fuel injection systems have made a come back in marine diesel engines, the older
mechanically controlled system have been replaced by electronic/hydraulic controlled system. Describe,
with a line diagram any one type of a modern CR system, mentioning the engine type. (8)
b) Compare the advantages and disadvantages of the common rail fuel injection system with the jerk
type of injection system. Give examples of their use in modern diesel engines. (8)

Q2. (a) Explain why highly efficient diesel engines tend to produce more NOx than low performance
diesel engines. (5)
(b) Describe, with the aid of a sketch, a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) unit for a marine propulsion
diesel engine. (6)
(c) Explain why accurate monitoring of the exhaust gas flows entering and leaving a Selective Catalytic
